Bad cds degrade performance of burners?

Is it even possible? I was the comments on newegg about the dvd burner I bought and I'm not sure of the guy is talking out of his ass or what.

Bad CD or DVD media will degrade performance when using them. The performance of the burner itself should be unaffected. The drive will perform fine with good media afterwords.

I hope that's what you meant. :unsure:

I agree though that just using an occasional bad disk should not have a permanent effect.
